Through her book, her speaking, and her bold transparency, Avonley helps others find beauty in brokenness and strength through their scars.She's here today to share her powerful testimony, how God carried her through the darkest valleys, and how listeners can find freedom and purpose — no matter what they've been through.Links:https://www.avonleylightstone.com/https://www.instagram.com/avonleylightstone/Tags:Abuse Recovery,Childhood Trauma,Empowering,God,Inspiring,Life Mastery,Narcissist,Strengths Finder,Therapy,Trauma Recovery,Turning Generational Pain Into Generational Healing w/Avonley Lightstone,Live Video Podcast Interview,Phantom Electric Ghost Podcast,Podcast,Podmatch,InterviewSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

Send us a textEd Latimore is a best-selling author, former professional heavyweight boxer, and competitive chess player. His writing focuses on self-improvement and a practical approach to stoic philosophy.-Quick Episode Summary:Ed Latimore discusses resilience, self-improvement, boxing, and overcoming adversity.-Key takeaways include:Resilience is built by confronting hardship, not avoiding it. Ed's perspective that “we don't grow despite the storms, we grow because of the storms” hits home. Embracing discomfort is what forges real strength—both physically and mentally.Respect trumps being liked. Ed reflects on the difference between respect and popularity, highlighting that true relationship capital is earned by standing for something, not just blending in. “Respect is an investment—you get back what you put in.”Mastering the basics and building structure beats chasing instant gratification. Ed credits his progress (from boxing to math to writing) to focusing relentlessly on fundamentals, taking handwritten notes, and setting clear goals—not shortcuts or distractions.-Time Codes:00:00 Content Fatherhood Reflections04:53 "Experience and Freedom in Fighting"07:24 "Gratitude for Acknowledgment in 'Atomic Habits'"12:50 Exercise: Powerful Antidepressant14:15 Writing a Book: Challenges and Control17:02 Chasing Approval vs. Earning Respect22:11 Embracing Detachment: Comedy Over Tragedy24:10 "Change Environment, Break the Cycle"27:20 Childhood Struggles: Psychological and Physical32:58 "Patience with Rescue Animals"34:19 Mastering Basics Amidst Distractions37:27 "Why I Prefer Physical Books"42:37 Writing for Growth and Feedback44:02 Grit: Persistence and Improvement49:19 Thanking Myself: A Personal Reflection53:20 Recording Audiobook Challenges56:24 "Passing the Torch: Self-Acceptance"57:18 Promote Podcast EngagementConnect with Passing The Torch: Facebook and IG: @torchmartin More Amazing Stories: Episode 41: Lee Ellis – Freeing You From Bond That Make You InsecureEpisode 49: Ryan Hawk – Crafting a Legacy of LeadershipEpisode 52: Riley Tejcek – Mission of Empowerment and Endurance

Borderline Personality and Codependency: Signs You Were Raised by Narcissistic Parents

Borderline personality disorder can be understood as the extreme version of codependency, where, at the core are adult adult children who have suffered from abandonment, rejection, abuse, neglect, and trauma. When an innocent child is unable, through no fault of their own, to connect with their primary caregiver, and especially when that caregiver is actually a source of pain, suffering and instability, the brain of that child is forced to live from the plane of survival. Due to default settings of the personality, brain and nervous system, for the one who has been denied a healthy attachment and who at the same time, also learned that they could not and should not trust the one caring for them, the inner world becomes trapped below the veil of consciousness, living in fear of the love the being so desperately craves.  How Narcissistic Parents Contribute to Borderline Personality Development Children of narcissistic parents often grow up in environments marked by emotional unpredictability. One moment, the parent may be intrusive, critical, or controlling, and the next they may be cold, withdrawn, or dismissive. This creates a push-pull dynamic where the child never feels secure. Over time, this instability fragments the child's developing sense of self. Because their emotional needs are dismissed or punished, the child learns to fear abandonment while simultaneously fearing engulfment. They internalize the belief that love is unstable, unsafe, and conditional.  As adults, this unresolved conflict can manifest as borderline traits: Intense fear of abandonment Unstable self-image Difficulty regulating emotions Stormy, chaotic relationships These symptoms are not “character flaws” but survival adaptations to a childhood where the parent's narcissism left no room for stable, secure attachment. How Narcissistic Parents Create Codependency While borderline traits stem from instability, codependency develops from self-abandonment. In a narcissistic home, children quickly learn that their parent's approval, affection, or even basic safety hinges on meeting the parent's emotional needs.  The child becomes hypervigilant, scanning the parent for shifts in mood, anticipating outbursts, and adapting themselves to keep the peace. This conditioning teaches the child: “My needs don't matter.” “I must earn love by taking care of others.” “If I say no, I'll lose connection.” As adults, these children often: Over-function in relationships Prioritize others' needs above their own Struggle to set boundaries without guilt Confuse love with caretaking or control This is the essence of codependency: a pattern of chronic self-abandonment rooted in early survival strategies. ✅ Bottom line: Both borderline personality traits and codependency share the same root wound — a lack of secure, validating parental love. One path (borderline) reflects the inner chaos of unstable attachment, while the other (codependency) reflects the learned habit of self-erasure for connection. Both are survival strategies that can be unlearned through conscious healing, reparenting, and building self-trust. Ready to breakthrough these subconscious patterns?

In this episode, Guy Lawrence interviews Greg Doyle, an expert in astral travel and energy healing. Greg shares his insights on the nature of astral experiences, comparing them to our 3D reality and emphasizing the importance of recognizing our perfect essence. The conversation covers how the mainstream mirrors a conditioned reality and discusses Greg's journey from a classical musician to an astral traveler and energy healer. They delve into common reactions to his work, the intricacies of astral workshops, and the impact of these experiences on personal growth and understanding of death. Greg also touches on the humorous and guiding aspects of astral experiences, his thoughts on the karmic machinery of human life, and the potential for anyone to access astral travel through meditation and relaxation techniques. Finally, they discuss Greg's plans for the future and his advice on living an authentic life. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of spirituality, consciousness, and the human experience. About Greg: Greg Doyle Greg Doyle is an Astral traveler, energy healer, author, and speaker. His interest and expertise in the mind/body/spirit connection, particularly in the areas of energy healing, meditation and the Out-of-Body-Experience (or astral travel/projection), has seen him help many people around the world move forward through their pain and obstacles and connect more fully with their joy and potential. As a trained classical musician, Greg discovered the benefits of meditation in his early twenties to help combat the stress of stage fright, recognizing the greater aspect of self in the process. In his late thirties, he began to leave his physical body spontaneously, and so began a guided process of consciousness expansion that would not only divert his career, but would also alter his very perception of being. Greg also teaches Reiki and meditation and has recently begun helping people awaken the dormant sense of astral projection that lies within them, using the energetic tools that he has developed over the past decade. He believes that astral awareness is a particularly valuable tool for spiritual expansion, as it is by its very nature fully experiential.

How do you know if the challenges you face today — in relationships, at work, or even with your health — are really caused by unresolved childhood trauma?It's a question I hear often, and it's a good one. Because without clarity, we end up treating the wrong “symptom” and going in circles.Maybe you've already done therapy or coaching around past issues. You've journaled, meditated, and worked on your personal growth.But here's the deeper question: How do you know if your healing is truly complete… or if there are still layers left to uncover?In this week's episode of the podcast, I share the 3 telltale signs of unresolved childhood trauma — patterns I've seen in myself and in countless others. They quietly shape our relationships, our sense of self, and our ability to manage emotions:Repetitive relationship struggles — push–pull dynamics, people-pleasing, shutting down, or feeling unsafe in closeness.A vague sense that “something is wrong with me” — showing up as shame, imposter syndrome, or holding back from intimacy.Emotional dysregulation — feeling numb until emotions hit like a tsunami, or managing them through work, food, or other distractions.If you recognize yourself in any of these, you're not alone. And here's the good news: healing is possible.P.S. If this resonates, please share the episode with someone who may need it.

Many adults struggle with patterns they can't explain: feeling responsible for everything, working harder than everyone else without realizing it, or getting triggered by chaos even when their current life is stable. They might find intimacy difficult, feel disconnected from their emotions, or notice their nervous system going into overdrive in situations that don't seem threatening. What they don't realize is that these patterns often trace back to growing up in chaotic environments where they had to become the adult in the room as a child. The truth is, when children are forced to take on adult responsibilities - managing emotions, solving problems, or keeping the family together - it rewires their nervous system in ways that show up decades later as chronic overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and an inability to recognize their own limits. In this episode, Dr. Tian Dayton joins Dr. Aimie to explore how early relational trauma and chaotic family dynamics create lasting patterns in our nervous system. You'll discover why traditional talk therapy often isn't enough for trauma resolution, how movement and body-based approaches can complete what words cannot, and why environments like 12-step programs can create the perfect container for nervous system healing. You'll hear about: [2:00] The hidden signs of early relational trauma and why chaos is so hard to identify [5:30] How children adapt to become "project managers" in dysfunctional families [8:00] Why some people feel like the "crazy one" while others become the "uptight one" [9:00] Understanding "thwarted intention" and how it creates emotional blocks in adulthood [12:00] How sense memory gets triggered in relationships and intimacy [14:00] The critical importance of early touch and bonding for nervous system development [18:00] When nervous systems "freeze" and brace for danger with intimate partners [21:00] Why 12-step programs create ideal conditions for trauma healing [27:30] The power of "limbic baths" and co-regulated nervous system states [32:00] How "act hunger" and movement help complete unresolved trauma responses [35:00] Why the body needs catharsis and energy release for true healing Whether you're recognizing your own patterns from a chaotic childhood, supporting someone who grew up in dysfunction, or you're a practitioner working with clients who have early relational trauma, this episode provides both the understanding and practical approaches needed to break generational cycles and create lasting healing.

Self-betrayal starts in childhood when trauma teaches you to ignore what your gut is telling you and go straight into overthinking mode just to survive. Your intuition isn't something you think about - it's something you feel deep in your center, quiet and calm, while anxiety creates this crazy mental chaos that spins you out. As kids, trauma survivors had to shut down their inner knowing to avoid getting hurt worse, which creates these lifelong habits of people-pleasing and abandoning yourself. Healing is about giving yourself permission to trust your gut again and act on it, even when it makes other people uncomfortable. You need safe relationships to help your intuition grow back - toxic people just shut it down. Trauma also disconnects you from your body, which is actually a huge part of how you receive intuitive messages. Good boundaries keep the drama out so you can actually hear what your inner wisdom is trying to tell you.

Being praised for strength or handling everything so well might seem like a positive thing. But what if those compliments aren't celebrating resilience, but actually highlighting stored trauma masquerading as strength? Being called resilient might be one of the most dangerous compliments you've received. True resilience flows from safety and support, but trauma resilience is your nervous system running on emergency biology that will eventually make you sick. In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind the difference between healthy resilience and trauma resilience. She explains why the child who never complains and the adult who never misses work despite chaos are running on trauma biology that leads to chronic illness decades later. You'll hear more on: The two types of resilience and why only one is actually healthy How trauma biology creates leaky gut, inflammation, and autoimmune responses Why your nervous system is actually stuck in survival mode The connection between adverse childhood experiences and adult chronic illness How stored trauma shows up as digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, and autoimmunity Why traditional stress management doesn't work for trauma biology What needs to be repaired in order to start building authentic resilience  Whether you're the person everyone calls mature for your age or supporting someone whose strength might be stored trauma, this episode gives you practical tools to move from functioning in survival mode to building authentic resilience from a place of safety and support.

I have been captivated by the concept of The In Between, that mysterious space between enduring your pain and trauma and fully moving forward. It is a place where it is easy to get stuck in familiar patterns of suffering, because they have become uncomfortably comfortable. Pain can feel like an old snugle blanket you have held onto for years and letting go feels strange, even a little like losing yourself.  But The In Between is also where transformation happens. It is where you begin to truly integrate all the tools you have learned along the way: setting boundaries, speaking up for yourself, saying no and meaning it, being gentle with yourself and leaning fully into your feelings.  It can feel scary to step into this space, but it is also so magical. It is here, in the tension between what was and what can be, that you learn to trust yourself and your healing.  Come with me as I explore this fascinating, powerful and sometimes uncomfortable place, The In Between.  linktr.ee/amyloganlife

Most people think stress and trauma are just different points on the same scale. But what if that belief has kept people stuck in cycles of chronic illness, autoimmune flare-ups, and emotional overwhelm? Many people are doing everything "right." They're eating well, exercising, going to therapy, yet they still struggle with gut issues, brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue that won't go away. They can't understand why their body seems to be working against them instead of healing. In this episode, Dr. Aimie reveals the crucial difference between stress and trauma, and why understanding this distinction changes everything about how you heal. She explains how unresolved trauma gets stored in the body and creates a biology of trauma that keeps your nervous system stuck in survival mode. You'll discover why trauma doesn't have to be "big" to be significant, how it shows up as chronic health conditions decades later, and the repair tools that address trauma at the emotional, somatic, and cellular levels, creating accelerated healing that single approaches cannot. You'll hear more on: [2:30] The simple question that reveals childhood trauma you may have downplayed [6:45]  How chronic conditions like autoimmunity follow predictable trauma patterns [9:00]  What happens during nervous system shifts and why they affect your whole body [15:30]  How brain inflammation fuels “body trauma loops” that keep you stuck [19:44] Why brain inflammation is part of your trauma response (and how to recognize it!) [25:00] The three levels of repair needed for lasting trauma healing [27:30] How generational trauma passes through epigenetics (and how to break the cycle) [30:15]  The #1 thing to prioritize for nervous system regulation and recovery [32:45] Daily habits that increase resilience, healing capacity, and overall well-being Whether you're personally dealing with chronic health issues and unresolved trauma, or you're a practitioner helping clients understand the mind-body connection, this episode provides the scientific framework and practical tools you need to start addressing trauma at all levels and create lasting healing.     Resources/Guides: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

Before Their Crimes: What We're Misunderstanding about Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing is a ground-breaking book that sheds new light on the relationship of childhood trauma and juvenile crime. Wendy Smith uses the framework of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to explain how the toxic stress of early childhood trauma can make children vulnerable to committing criminal acts. Smith draws from interviews with twenty men and women from across the racial and social divide who spent years in prison after committing serious crimes as children. Smith not only reveals the pernicious mechanisms that link early trauma to later crime, but also illuminates the potential for healing among even the most egregious offenders.

A world-class instrument of deft phrasing and purity, a voice that knows when to hold back and when to dive in. At her own live shows, taking a verse onstage with friends or singing harmonies in sessions with Austin's finest, BettySoo sings with consummate loveliness and self-assurance. A voice that knows the roots of American music inside and out; coming from a most unexpected place –a diminutive Korean-American with a deceptively girl-next-door demeanor.They call it the live music capital of the world. Austin, Texas, is a city where the musical bar is set high. Since exploding on the Austin scene a decade ago, BettySoo has carved out an enviable niche among the very best the city has to offer.BettySoo is as Texan as they come.Raised outside Houston by first-generation Korean immigrant parents, educated at UT, she grew up listening to the Great American songbook and country radio. Older sisters led her to the world of singer/songwriters, and nights spent at The Cactus Café and Hole In The Wall turned her on to the legacy of Texas song.Her 2007 solo disc, Little Tiny Secrets, garnered heavy regional airplay; 2009's Heat Sin Water Sin produced by Gurf Morlix (Lucinda Williams, Ray Wylie Hubbard), provided building blocks to a national (and international) audience. In 2014, When We're Gone, co-produced with cellist Brian Standefer (Alejandro Escovedo, Terry Allen) placed her firmly in the first rank of songwriters working today.She's won the requisite awards: New Folk at Kerrville, Songwriter of the Year at Big Top Chautauqua, The Dave CarterSongwriting Award at Sisters Folk Festival, Mountain Stage's New Song.She's played the festivals –multiple South by Southwests, Kerrville, Calgary and more. And the radio shows –E-Town, Mountain Stage, WoodSongs, BBC 2 with Bob Harris.Her singing has been heard on Riverdale and Girl Boss, and her songs formed the musical backbone to Christine Hoang's 2017 play A Girl Named Sue, singled out by Austin360.com in their review as “gorgeous, moving ballads comment(ing) on the themes of the scenes they punctuate.”The future looks auspicious for BettySoo.In the Time of COVID-19, BettySoo cut a unique path through the broad streaming landscape --and as with everything she does, she approached it in a way that invites authentic connection, encourages compassion, and merits listening. Her weekly Nobody's Happy Hour via Zoom fostered an intimate and meaningful community and were hailed by many as one of the most creative streamed residencies anywhere.“In her own words, ‘I guess Asian-American songwriters aren't that common. At least, not in Texas.' Well, songwriting and singing of this caliber aren't that common anywhere." - No Depression******If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

If you've ever felt like your anxiety is “too much” or your grief is “too messy,” you belong here.Today, meet a daughter of a covertly narcissistic mother who didn't begin to connect the dots until after her mother's death. What follows is an honest, layered conversation about complex grief, panic attacks that don't seem to make sense, and the painful tug-of-war between loyalty and truth.Together, we explore:Why panic in adulthood is often a trauma memory, not a present problemThe link between narcissistic mothers and hypervigilant nervous systemsHow “should” becomes a survival strategy and why it now feels like self-betrayalWhat it means to grieve a mother who was never emotionally safeHow memory reconsolidation happens even after a parent's deathWhy waking up to your story years later doesn't mean the trauma wasn't realIf you were the daughter who raised yourself, who became the emotional caretaker in childhood, or who still feels guilty for feeling relief after loss, this conversation will help you feel less alone, less crazy, and more understood.Grief isn't linear. Panic isn't random. And your healing gets to make sense to you, even if no one else understands it yet.

Content Caution: This episode discusses childhood trauma, eating disorders, and body shame. Please listen with care and take breaks if needed. Episode Overview: Eating disorders are not about willpower or personal failure. They are survival responses rooted in trauma, body shame, and environments where safety or acceptance were missing. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, I explore how childhood trauma and eating disorders are connected, and why understanding this link is essential for true healing. We'll talk about how early emotional invalidation, conditional love, medical or religious trauma, anti-fat bias, racism, ableism, and other forms of oppression shape our nervous systems and our relationships with food and our bodies. Key Topics in This Episode: How Childhood Trauma Shapes Eating Disorders Trauma is not only abuse or neglect. It includes emotional neglect, growing up where love felt conditional, being shamed for your body or identity, and living in oppressive environments. These experiences teach the nervous system that the world is unsafe, leading to food-based coping strategies like restriction, binge eating, or obsessive control. Why Eating Disorders Are Survival Strategies Eating disorders are intelligent adaptations to trauma and distress. They are not choices or flaws but protective responses from a body trying to survive unsafe conditions. The Role of Shame and Oppression Shame reinforces eating disorders by convincing people they are weak or broken. Systems like fatphobia, racism, and ableism magnify this shame, making recovery harder. Understanding how body shame and systemic oppressionintersect with trauma is crucial for healing. A Trauma-Informed Approach to Recovery Recovery is not about force or willpower. It is about compassion, safety, and nervous system regulation. Healing involves body liberation, trauma-informed care, and neurodivergent-affirming practices that honor each person's story and needs. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The connection between childhood trauma and eating disorders Why eating disorders are survival mechanisms, not failures How shame and body image distress perpetuate disordered eating The impact of oppression, fatphobia, and ableism on body shame How trauma-informed eating disorder therapy supports healing Related Episodes: Childhood Trauma & Eating Disorders on Apple & Spotify.

Many people with autoimmune conditions like lupus, Hashimoto's, or rheumatoid arthritis feel discouraged, confused and frustrated. They've been told there's nothing they can do except manage symptoms for the rest of their life. But what if autoimmune disease is associated with childhood and a sign that the body has been living in survival mode for too long and that recovery is possible? In this episode, Dr. Aimie explains the real nervous system root causes of autoimmune diseases and why rewiring your nervous system, stored trauma, and emotional pain can help your body recover. She shares her own story of sitting in a rheumatologist's office, staring at high antibody numbers on her lab results, and deciding there had to be a better way forward. You'll hear why autoimmune conditions often affect high-functioning women and how toxic stress and trauma from years ago can get stuck in the body, leading to fatigue, chronic pain, brain fog, and autoimmune flare-ups decades later. Dr. Aimie breaks down how autoimmunity isn't just about the immune system. It's also about safety, authenticity, and how the body responds to stress. Healing requires more than food or supplements. It means creating safety in your mind, in your body, and in your biology. In this episode, you'll hear more about: [2:10] Why reversing autoimmune symptoms is about more than lab results or medication [5:00] The personality traits that often show up in people with autoimmune conditions [9:30] How childhood stress, emotional pain, and trauma get stored in the body [13:40] Why a stressed nervous system leads to fatigue, brain fog, and chronic inflammation [18:00] The surprising connection between being your true self and autoimmune flare-ups [22:45] Why positive thinking alone doesn't work and what your body actually needs to heal [27:00] The three key levels of healing [31:00] First steps you can take to start nervous system regulation and feeling safe again Whether you're personally living with an autoimmune condition or you're a practitioner supporting clients with these challenges, this episode will give you the tools to start addressing the emotional root causes of autoimmunity and creating a felt sense of safety to help the body recover naturally.   Guides, Tools & Resources: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

The truth is, early parenting choices, like sleep training and letting babies cry it out, can affect how their brain and body develop for years to come. Many well-meaning parents follow these popular methods, only to see their kids later struggle with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues that seem to come out of nowhere. That's because early attachment and nervous system development shape a child's mental health in ways we don't always see. Everything that happens in the first years of life, from how you respond to your baby's cries to how connected they feel, helps build their brain, nervous system, and their ability to feel safe and calm. Even common parenting habits can create hidden stress, making it harder for children to grow into resilient, emotionally healthy adults. In this episode, Dr. Darcia Narvaez joins Dr. Aimie to talk about what babies really need for healthy brain development, emotional safety, and attachment. You'll also learn how parents and practitioners can begin to repair early childhood trauma and help heal the nervous system, no matter the age. You'll hear about: How sleep training and crying it out disrupt a baby's developing nervous system The link between early separations and anxiety, depression, and attachment issues later in life How your own childhood experiences influence your health, relationships, and parenting style Practical ways to rebuild connection and help your child's nervous system heal Why the vagus nerve is essential for emotional regulation in children How common newborn medical procedures can cause lasting trauma Why children need love and connection, not constant performance for approval Whether you're a practitioner wanting to understand how early attachment trauma affects adult clients, or a parent looking for nervous system regulation techniques and coregulation strategies to support your child, this episode offers science-backed insights and practical tools you can use right away.   Dr. Darcia Narvaez is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame.

On this episode, Kimberly and, author, artist, and researcher, Jamie Mustard dive deep into Jamie's childhood in Scientology and his healing and research quest to understand his complex childhood PTSI (Post-Traumatic Stress Injury). This conversation moves between Mustard's autobiographical story, which features heavily in his upcoming novel Child X and graphic novel Hybred, in addition to his previous research into trauma that stemmed from a transformative experience with Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) treatment. After benefitting so deeply from the treatment, Jamie spent years researching The Invisible Machine, the book he co-wrote with Dr. Eugen Lipov, the doctor who developed the treatment, and which features input from many leaders across the trauma field. Jamie emphasizes the importance of addressing trauma as a biological injury rather than a disorder. He goes into detail about his work across victims of trauma from soldiers to sexual assault survivors to former gang members who all benefited from SGB treatment that resets the sympathetic nervous system, significantly reducing trauma symptoms. Jamie also discusses the role of brain health in trauma recovery and the potential of alternative therapies like ketamine and psilocybin. In the second half of the conversation, Jamie details his harrowing experiences as a baby in Scientology's notorious Sea Org's, and the effects of severe neglect, medical issues, and emotional abuse on his adulthood. Jamie highlights the systemic destruction of empathy and the mind-body connection within Scientology. He emphasizes the importance of his book in raising awareness about the lost children of Scientology, as well as the intersection of race and his family's history, framing his story as a quest for humanism and resilience.  You can best support Jamie's work by pre-ordering the Child X and Hybred at the links below!   Bio Jamie Mustard was born into one of the most influential fringe movements in the 1970s: Scientology. Raised on a mythos of spaceships and made to believe that it was his life's purpose to help save the world, he was determined to survive — not only unsurvivable neglect but also the impossible physical and psychological gauntlet of extreme poverty and illiteracy. Child X (BenBella Books) is a dark existential journey into a deepest hole of human existence and the road back. The unbelievable story of a lost generation of children, Child X takes readers through Mustard's childhood and adolescence in “the movement,” his daring escape, and his rise into self-possession. With wit and vulnerability, Mustard sheds light on one of the untold, but not uncommon, accounts of a powerful Black family that rose from the ashes of slavery to prominence and wealth, and how the counterculture of the 1960s and 70s caused that rise to crumble. This deeply personal true story gives a child's-eye view of one of the most notorious American religious movements in history. Despite his family's success, Jamie would be born a slave and then reborn an artist. Through extraordinary encounters with celebrity, icons, and historical figures, it also powerfully places Black American history in the larger context of world events. A universal story of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds, Child X celebrates yet transcends race — and is ultimately an uplifting, impossible-to-believe story of rising out of adversity and building a life full of meaning and connection. With this book, Mustard continues working to restore his family's legacy and provides a salient saga of the road to humanity and self-possession.   What You'll Hear: Why Jamie hesitates to call himself a survivor Why Jamie doesn't refer to Scientology as a cult How an artist and art director dove headlong into trauma research The ins and outs of Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) treatment for PTSD/PTSI Jamie's extensive research on PTSD/PTSI treatment modalities Jamie's encounters with Stephen Porges, Gabor Maté, Peter Lavine, and Daniel Amen, and military psychologists on Fort Bragg.
